Kate Mansi Exits GH after 3 Years

After logging three years on "General Hospital" as Kristina Corinthos-Davis, Kate Mansi is leaving the ABC sudser. The news was first reported by soap opera reporter Stephanie Sloane, and reposted by Mansi to her Instagram Story.

Mansi filmed her final episode in April and will last appear sometime in June.

“I’ve made the very difficult decision to leave General Hospital,” Mansi told Sloane. “I have a few new projects that require my full attention and with my husband [Matt McInnis] currently producing a series filming primarily abroad, I needed the flexibility to travel while continuing to develop and work in Los Angeles.

I’m incredibly grateful to Frank [Valentini], ABC, and our writers for the care they gave Kristina. It’s been such a meaningful and unforgettable ride. I’ve loved being a fiery Corinthos-Davis girl in such a phenomenal family.

When Frank first approached me about the role, two things deeply resonated with me: the opportunity to show my support for the queer community by playing an LGBTQ+ character, and to help tell an endometriosis storyline.

Together, I truly feel we honored both of those stories in a way that mattered. And the fact that I got to direct was simply the icing on the cake! Now, it feels like the right time for both Kristina and me to step into new adventures.”

Executive Producer Frank Valentini said, “We love Kate and support her decision to leave. The door is always open, and we appreciate all that she added to the show these past three years.”
